1In resealable food-storage plastic bag or large glass or plastic dish, place beef. In small bowl, mix molasses, 1/2 cup of the oil, the soy sauce, shallots, garlic and 2 tablespoons each of the parsley and thyme; pour over beef. Seal bag or cover dish; refrigerate at least 8 hours but no longer than 24 hours, turning beef several times to coat with marinade.

2Heat oven to 425°F. Remove beef from marinade; discard marinade. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat. Add beef; cook 8 minutes or until browned on all sides. Place beef on rack in shallow roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer so tip is in center of thickest part of beef.

3Roast uncovered 15 minutes or until thermometer reads 135°F (medium-rare). Cover beef loosely with foil; let stand 20 minutes or until thermometer reads 140°F. (Temperature will continue to rise about 5°F and beef will be easier to carve as juices set up.)
